Hello,
I’ve been attempting to communicate between a raspberry pi and an STM32 micro-controller (STM32L053) over I2C. At the moment the raspberry pi is using a simple SMbus python script in an attempt to read a few bytes from the microcontroller. I have loaded the given I2CSlave program from mbed’s Documentation in order to sent back a few bytes to the raspberry pi after it has been “readaddressed.”
However my issues start here because when I set the slave address to( 0x42<<1), which is the address the raspberry pi senses on the I2C bus with" i2cdetect," the micro-controller all of a sudden disappears from the bus and no address is sensed from the raspberry pi’s end. However when I change the address to almost anything else, essentially a wrong address, 0x42 shows up again on the I2C raspberry pi bus. Furthermore, even when I do get the program to run on the raspberry pi and I receive a “readaddressed” signal on the micro-controller, the bytes I receive back are incorrect.
I was just curious if anyone has seen a working I2C communication between a raspberry pi and an stm32 microcontroller or have any ideas how to make this communication work. I have found basically zero examples online as everyone seems to be using arduino over the micro-controller I have. I’m not sure if my problem lies in this address issue, a software/hardware compatibility issue, or if I am simply structuring the code wrong.
For additional information, the raspberry pi includes internal pull up resistors (1.8 kohms) on its I2C pins so it was my assumption that I could simply connect the two from GND–>GND, SDA–>SDA, and SCL–>SCL. They are both being powered individually and run at 3.3 volts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am new to embedded programming and I have been stuck for quite a while. Thanks!
